MV My Girl Ferry Service
Heaving Down Rock Marina (Walkin Marina), Providenciales
My Girl MV Ferry is a passenger ferry service connecting visitors to the Turks and Caicos between the islands of Providenciales and North Caicos.
Traveling via ferry is the favored means of transport to the islands of North Caicos and Middle Caicos, whether you’re visiting for the day or plan on staying overnight. Although both islands have an airport, there are no scheduled flights to either island.
Visiting North Caicos and Middle Caicos from Providenciales on a day trip is a highly recommended activity as these islands are home to some of the most spectacular landscapes and beaches in the Turks and Caicos, as well as a number of historical ruins.
The ferry service takes about 25 minutes each way and follows a highly scenic route along the magnificent Caicos Cays. On your journey, you’ll catch impressive views of Little Water Cay, Half Moon Bay, Water Cay, Pine Cay, Fort George Cay, Dellis Cay, and Parrot Cay before arriving at North Caicos. From there, visitors can rent a car to explore the islands.
My Girl Ferry operates a smaller vessel with comfortable seating to ensure passengers have an enjoyable journey, which is suitable for up to 15 people. Reservations are not usually required, although guests are asked to arrive at the dock at least 30 minutes prior to departure.
